Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You are designing the data tier for a SaaS application that processes financial transactions per minute. The workload currently runs on a single Azure SQL Database in West Europe. Business requirements are: the database must come back online within 60 seconds during any unplanned outage; if the entire West Europe region is lost, the application must continue from North Europe with an RPO of under five seconds; and the operations team must not manage operating systems or database software. Which solution best meets these requirements?

  • Migrate to Azure SQL Managed Instance (Business Critical) and configure an auto-failover group between West Europe and North Europe.

  • Configure an Azure SQL Database in the Business Critical tier with zone redundancy enabled in West Europe.

  • Deploy SQL Server 2022 on two Azure virtual machines in different availability zones in West Europe and configure Always On availability groups.

  • Upgrade to Azure SQL Database Premium tier and create an active geo-replica in North Europe; perform manual failover when needed.
